As the old saying goes, ‘Christmas is a time for giving’—a time to share gifts and reconnect with friends, family, and loved ones. It’s also the time of year that many of us get sick and unintentionally spread illness to all those around us— whether it’s a cold, flu, or bacterial infection.

So, in the true spirit of Christmas prevention, we’ve come up with a short list of health tips, so you and your loved ones can avoid a less than ideal holiday experience.
